Inspiration

Wahoo Wager was inspired by Cleveland Indians fans everywhere and fantasy sports. We seek to provide a structured, real time fantasy sports experience, to fans at the game in the stadium.

What it does (Awesome)

Wahoo Wager lets fans predict how a game will go, and showcase the players with the best predictions. Fans can compare their scores with their friends and find out definitively which fan is the best at connecting with the core of the game.

How we built it (Hard Work)

Amazon Dynamo DB was used on the backend.

Android Studio was used for the for the Front End.

Python and some other tools were used for some hidden goodies

Challenges we ran into (Overcome)

Changing project focus multiple times over the development cycle. This turned out to be beneficial as our final design was more focused on fan user experience then our initial proposals.

Backend design was something we were not initially familiar with.

Long distance collaboration was initially challenging due to a huge distance between team members and poor Internet infrastructure in rural areas, but with traditional telephone systems, structured emails and git we were able to work together over a long distance.

Accomplishments that we are proud of (Heck Yeah!)

Working on a project that is simple, yet more then skin deep with secrets for fans to discover.

Getting our backend running up in less then an hour, even though we were a bit rusty with server side technologies.
